It's real bare minerals make up. And it's pretty big. About 3 in in diameter and 1 1/2 tall. Hold true to 8oz

Is very similar, the UD is bigger so is faster to apply your foundation, I love the real techniques to apply foundation and bronzer, and you can't beat the price! Real techniques has such a good quality for the price.

I personally did not like the Luminess foundations, they all were yellow on me. The Belloccio foundations are great but I've been having problems with the machine clogging and I clean it after every use according to their instructions. It worked great for a few months, I'm on my 3rd machine. Very disappointing.

It is. I am Asian with a very fair complexion and light beige is just fine for me. This foundation is the best ever. I have used the most expensive foundations out there but have always felt they give a caked on feeling, until I got this as a gift from a friend who came back from a trip to korea. Get it. You won't be sorry.

I believe so. I use the mineral lose foundation from Mary Kay & it works great with these brushes!

This is just the shell. You have to buy the foundation separately. I did purchase the mineral foundation but it didn't do what I needed on my older skin.

No. I dnt use it alot, but it feels pretty light. It is good to take away shine, but is pretty translucent so you should ise it over another foundation.

No, I believe my purchase was a very good fake. It made my face itch badly. The coverage was nothing like the Bare Minerals I have used for 15 years. The packaging looks exactly like the real deal, though.

That's the shade I used to wear. I ordered "Nouveau Beige" and it's a pretty near match, but be aware that the container is smaller by about a third. But here's the good news - for a very good substitute now that Max Factor very stupidly discontinued their FABULOUS Pan Stik foundation, try Kryolan TV Paint Stick foundation - this is a very, very good product and much cheaper than Max Factor because you get more and it lasts forever. I sent a color sample of Max Factor Medium Beige 129 to a vendor (either Stage Tones or Camera-Ready - I forget which one) and they color-matched it for me. The closest match was their Kryolan color OB1. This makeup is used for high definition TV but you can wear it everyday. It's not QUITE as good as Max Factor, but it's very, VERY good. I LOVE it, and will continue with it even if Max Factor resurrects Pan Stik. Check it out! You can find it on Amazon, or just google it. Another good substitute is made by theatrical cosmetics compay, Mehron, but I prefer Kryolan - FABULOUS !!! Check it out! Good luck!

I can't give you a good answer, but know that these foundations run VERY yellow. If you are neutral (like me) it will be way too yellow for you.

It's intended for liquid foundation to create a well blended, flawless look. I would not recommend this knock off though!

I know what you mean, those brushes are awful. The main purpose of this brush is to apply setting powder or bronzer, so my instinct is to say no - it's too large to be precise with, and designed to apply a light layer of powder rather than give any kind of coverage. However, I would highly recommend going to her website (realtechniques.com) to see if she has a brush that's meant to apply powder foundation. Because if it's anything like this one then it will be amazing.

I bought the BM starter kit and really only use the MV. I continue to wear my regular foundation that I have worn for years and still use the MV. I always used CornSilk pressed powder for shine control, but besides the fact that they dont make it anymore, I find that using the MV over my foundation is great! I go all day without blotting!

yes it is. But i don't like this product at all. Only used it once, and it doesn't look smooth on the face at all, even on top of a nice layer of foundation. I changed to bear mineral loose powder, much better. You can find it on amazon too.

Generally, mineral makeup is for sensitive skin. I did not see the actual words non-comedogenic, but it does say gentle. I've been using this for many years and have very sensitive skin that breaks out easily. I find this to be the best for my skin. It lets your skin breathe. After using Bare Minerals, I switched to Loreal and prefer it. Also I have fair skin and use soft ivory not the natural beige. As for the expiration date, not sure. I imagine two years. Hope some of this helps!

i am very happy with my purchase. my face looks fresh all day.. i believe this product is well worth the money. as to some people thinking it is not the real deal, all i can say is make sure you are using good brushes and keep your skin healthy.. minerals are good for your skin and when used on a regular bases, you will have less break outs and feel more confidant.I believe this is real Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. i am very pleased with mine..

I have a combination of dry/oily skin. This mineral makeup is fine as long as you moisturize before applying it. I haven't had any issues with it yet! :) Hope this helps!
